JezzaMac · Mar 14, 2011

Ye quite alot of rub currently at the moment.... need to get some spacers and get the camber and tracking done as its not been done since it was lowered. no rubbing at all at 60mm and i did put the car through its paces on the springs!

JezzaMac · Mar 15, 2011

Whip a picture up clio_stu just so i can see what it looks like!

Thanks for the comments though people! Hit me up with some ideas of what to do next!!

Stu. · Mar 15, 2011

ta da

get some smaller tyress

JezzaMac · Mar 16, 2011

That does look smart, but would have to get the tints done again! How do you open your boot now? lol

JezzaMac · Mar 23, 2011

Right finally got another update.....

Had my exhaust done last thursday and im so happy with it! It burbles nicely when changing gear! Also managed to get an RS grille off someone on here which makes such a difference although its kinda faded just now so will be spraying it black at some point!

Managed to get a few pictures and a short video today so let me know what you all think

And Finally the video

JezzaMac · Mar 23, 2011

Clio Madness · Mar 25, 2011

Olli_Clio · Mar 25, 2011

Thats exactly the sorta thing im looking at for my clio

.Stevo.C. · Mar 25, 2011

Looks good mate I like it. Who done your exhaust?

renclio · Mar 25, 2011

gees where did all the local people in this thread come from?, im sure i have seen you around mate i recognise the plate? car looks nice, needs rid off all tints though (including the rear lights). Then it would be much more to my taste but, each to there own

Hi mate Got all the LEDS from crazyleds they come in a pack with everything you need cant remember how much though!

Hey for everyone that asked about the exhaust its a guy through in east kilbride called Simons custom Exhausts. He is really good and a really nice guy! Look up simons custom exhausts on google and it should come up!

Im thinking about a decat pipe for it to try and make it pop and shoot flames haha

Got a tow strap for it today which looks nice! Solid to drill out though, had to give it to my mate with a lathe who said he had to sharpen his drill bit about 5 times in order to get through it!

Colour coding will hopefully happening soon but not going to spend much more money on it! Saving for a real 182

haha

Cheers guys!

ive searched the site but can only find mk3 leds but no mk2, any idea what pack you bought? thanks

.Stevo.C. · Mar 26, 2011

Seen your car parked in the straiton retail park today outside halfrauds look alrite mate.

Naith · Mar 26, 2011

lights, tints and silly stickers are terrible. the rest of the car looks really promising as a base for modification... even ph1 rears would look better dude...

https://www.crazyleds.co.uk/Clio-MK3-Full-SMD-LED-dash-conversion-kit..html

The mk3 ones are the right ones. I take it your heating controls are like mine and are the dials? You will need to tell them that when you order them or they will send you LEDs for the climate control instead of 2 bulbs!

I did like the lights but im starting to go off them abit aswell! But im really not sure about putting the big bright standard ones back on!

Sorry naith but the tints are staying just for the soul fact that they cost me £110 and i cant face the thought of it being wasted money! Plus i like them so they are staying!

I REALLY want black light inserts! Anyone want to swaaaaaaaap

Danny92 · Mar 29, 2011

looks mint nice car

Leggy · Mar 29, 2011

sorry to be cheeky but im 17 too and looking for a clio, but even standard the insurance seems alot have u listed your mods on it? and how much is yours?

JezzaMac · Mar 30, 2011

Hi mate,

yea ive listed all my mods on it and my insurance company only care about performance mods like the suspension! so tinted windows, exhaust, wheels... etc non of that put my insurance up! Im with quinn and they seem to be pretty good. I just renewed my insurance last month - 19yo 2 years experience 1 years NCB all mods declared 900 which is pretty good

When i first started driving after i passed my test it was 1600 third party fire and theft but insurance has gone up alooooot since then i believe

Whiskerz16v · Mar 31, 2011

You coming down to FCS jezza?

JezzaMac · Mar 31, 2011

I may well my man. When and where is it? I dont know whether to go to the CS meet or FCS as i can only go to one due to having to take time off work! Ive got a couple of mates that are wanting to go down to one or the other so we can get a wee convoy on the go

lol
